West Middle Callerton

This linear feature oriented northwest-southeast was identified by trial trenching and subsequently subject to excavation in 2017. The large irregular cutting was 7.55m wide and up to 2.2m deep and appeared to have been lined at the base with a sandy silty clay. Some silting up had occurred prior to the deliberate backfilling of the feature in the post-medieval period. Interpretation of the feature is difficult but it may have been a drain, possibly relating to mining activity {1}.
